Delete or force delete a server profile
You can delete a server profile that you no longer need. After you delete the server profile, the server hardware is available for
another server profile. Network connectivity is lost on the server if the profile had a network configuration in it.
If you are having connectivity issues with a server profile or if a remove action fails for a server profile, you can forcibly delete it
from the appliance.
IMPORTANT: Before deleting a profile with local storage settings, back up any important data.
Logical JBODs and logical drives on mezzanine controllers are deleted when the profile is deleted and their data will not
be recoverable. It is also recommended that you create a backup of the HPE OneView appliance before deleting such
profiles as a way to recover access to the physical drives if the profile is deleted accidentally.
IMPORTANT: Deleting a server profile that defines nonpermanent volumes will result in those volumes being deleted
from the storage system. Consider obtaining a backup of the data on nonpermanent volumes before deleting the profile.
NOTE: Deleting a server profile with SAN volumes attached can fail if there are communication issues with the storage system.
In such cases, retry deleting the profile or clean up the volumes and related objects from the storage system device manager
and forcibly delete the profile.
Prerequisites
• Privileges: Infrastructure administrator or Server administrator
• The selected server hardware is powered off
Procedure
1. From the main menu, select Server Profiles.
2. In the master pane, select the server profile you want to delete.
NOTE: To run this action on more than one object, use the Shift or Ctrl keys to select multiple objects in the master pane.
3. Select Actions > Delete.
4. Optional: Select Force delete server profile.
IMPORTANT: Forcibly deleting a server profile will ignore any errors that might occur. Ignoring errors can result in
the server hardware and interconnects to be in a state that will prohibit future use of the enclosure bay, or cause
networking problems if other profiles use the same MAC addresses or WWNs as this profile.
After forcibly deleting a server profile, any server hardware assigned to it will appear as
unassigned
.
Drive erase does not occur if logical JBODs that have drive erase specified fail to delete.
5. Review the confirmation message, and click Yes, delete.
6. Verify in master pane that the profile was deleted.
